It has been held by the Indian Supreme Court that the Constitution of India adopts the teaching of Separation of Powers as understood to Western Constitutionalism. It is popular that the VII Schedule of the Constitution offers legal powers as dispersed in between the Union and State Governments. It is clear that Entry 22 in Concurrent List deals with labour relations [13] When the Constitution had conferred the specific power to deal with labour relation to particular organs, can the Supreme Court to act as a metal-constitutional organ and takes over the powers given to the other organs? Pronouncing a viewpoint on the right of staff members to strike is an act of legislation and the act of the Supreme Court in pronouncing its view is a judicial legislation, which ought to be frowned by the skilled legislative forums. It is unneeded to add to the informed readers that the finding of Supreme Court in today case that the workers do not have any ethical or equitable right to strike is simply minor and do not be worthy of any conversations. Even the global instruments stress that rejection of such rights would amount to violation of fundamental labourers' rights. Article 8(1) (d) International covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights [14] states that the State Parties to the present covenant undertakes to guarantee the right to strike, offered that it is worked out in conformity with the laws of the particular country. Sub Sec.(2) of the Short articles 8 further states that this article shall not prevent the imposition of legal constraints on the workout of these rights by members of militaries or of the police or of the administration of the State [15] It is pertinent to keep in mind that Subarea (3) of Short article 8 does not authorise legal measures to cut the rights of workers [16] But we are dealing with a situation where the judiciary, basically a body to adjudicate, has pronounced steps to cut the rights of employees. The power to handle the worldwide relations had been provided to Union Federal government under entries 12, 13 and 14 of union list in Arrange VII of the Constitution. Then how can a domestic judicial organ jeopardise the finely held obligations be made legitimate. That suggests it has actually offered a go-bye by the Supreme Court in pronouncing such a judgment. From this it is really clear that the Supreme Court acted in an area in which it does not have any jurisdiction at all and in the light of earlier observation on the judgement, it is unneeded to have any conversations on such ruling that judgment does not have any force of law. There are other conventions that emphasises the workers right for collective bargaining, which includes the right to strike. The Committee on liberty of Association, which took a look at the employees right to strike under the arrangements of ILO, had actually given a finding that the strikes are acknowledged as legitimate weapons in furtherance of the member's interest [17] The Committee further states that any general arrangement would acknowledge the right of state workers to choose a strike with limitations, though such limitations shall not prohibit the right to strike. Going a step even more, the Committee likewise advised that the workers organisation must not be avoided from striking versus the social and economic policy of the Government [18] Even legislation that changes the employees who are under strike with new employees would seriously impact the rights of trade unions. Concluding the above recommendation, the Committee said that the right is not absolute and might be limited in remarkable scenarios and even restricted for certain classifications of employees, in specific, certain public servants ... on the condition that countervailing guarantees are offered to such public employees [19]
